I didn't realize anyone could go to medical school.

Maybe a little overly sarcastic, but there's a real point there:
Not everyone can get into med school (~5% acceptance rate?), but even more disturbingly some people get out of med school with tons of debt, and then either fail their step 2 or don't pass quickly enough to get a residency. Or fail boards after residency. Then you're in a really shitty position, with hundreds of thousands of debt but no ability to practice medicine.

Thing is which med school you’ll go will determine your debt load. Not all med schools charge the same rate.
